Too bad Capcom still didn't have the deal with Marvel. I would really like to see another Marvel vs Capcom, instead of this!

GI: Do you have to modify anything to make the game run on the16:9 display of the PSP?
Mastuskawa: This game was originally designed for the arcade board the CP2. That board itself was very close to the 16:9 ratio so every time we’ve taken the game and put it on the Saturn or the Dreamcast specs on a normal TV we’ve always had to modify it for that ratio. So now, for the first time, you’re going to be able to see it in its real size, the way it should be. For those players that don’t like it, they can scrunch the image onto the screen to fit a 4:3 display.

Heh, and I thought I'd be the only one who through the screens looked a little weird. Still though, looks great, it and Lumines are the only launch titles I'm interested in. Though I worry about control issues with this version, haven't heard anything good about it from anyone who's played it on this board.
yeah, cps2 games are natively almost widescreen, as you'll notice if you emulate them. we generally see them stretched to fit 4:3 tvs or arcade monitors, though, so their natural aspect ratio looks a bit strange.
i'm holding off on vampire chronicle until i've tried out the psp's d-pad. i hope it isn't too stiff or small.

PSP screen juxtaposed next to arcade version. PSP on left.:
Wasn't able to find screens with matching sprites. At the same height, the PSP screens is slightly wider(480dpi) than the arcade version(466dpi).
Looking good.... for some reason it doesn't look as "crisp" as the arcade version though... it could be just the screen captures though...
hm, looks like the real problem with the psp version is the blurry filter. i wonder if you can turn it off...if you can adjust the aspect ratio, you should be able to adjust the output as well.
edit: pad's too stiff, huh? well, i have idiosyncratic tastes in d-pads, so i guess i'll see in a few weeks.

while the CPS2's native arcade resolution is indeed 384x224 (12:7) the games run on in arcade monitors that are 4:3, so the image is stretched to fit 4:3...
so what they are technically doing is not stretching it when they should be stretching...
i guess they don't want to do too much work on their port :-/

I guess you missed both the post saying that the original arcade monitors were indeed widescreen, and the post from the game's author, saying that they will provide 4:3 aspect ratio option for people who want it

For straight ports you're stuck with either letterbox or streched image, it would look much worse if this were a native 4:3 aspect ratio game.

Fighting games mostly have scrolling backgrounds, so you don't have to letterbox or stretch anything. You would just have your background scroll less on a wide screen.

Would there even be a reason the PSP couldn't do a 1:1 perfect port of the arcade original? I ask b/c of the difference in image quality. I'm gonna chalk it up to the screen grab method, but only b/c I'm hoping that's the case. All the pics I've seen have appeared that muddy/blurry. I like this game, eventhough I suck horribly at it, and if/when I get a PSP, I want this one, but I'd like it to be a straight port with no compromises outside of font settings. PEACE.

OK, I stand corrected. I guess that's why there's a 4:3 aspect ratio mode included.
Arcade monitors are 4:3, but the 384x224 CPS2 resolution isn't stretched; instead the pixels are sized in a way that the resolution fits the screen.
But the actual sprites are drawn for 384x224, so when displayed in it's native resolution, they appear fat and short. Anyone who has used Capcom characters in MUGEN (2D fighting game engine) should recognize this.
